In Part 1, Loren kicks us off with a discussion of how Sesame Street is leading the new STEAM revolution. STEAM is like STEM but with an extra kick of A for Arts thrown in to be more inclusive. James leads Part 2 by chatting about how former wheelchair basketball Paralympian Bridie Kean is hoping to replicate some of the US’ highly evolved intercollege sports systems uses scholarships to increase competition and participation. Part 3 involves me (Patrick Avenell) reflecting on a UQ researcher’s findings that we all need to increase out exercise output 5-fold.
